“My sister told me about the show, I wasn’t sure at first but she told me to go for it.

“During my audition I just started dancing and doing a bit of body popping, I wasn’t really trying but Katie liked me.

“It’s been a brilliant experience and it has been good for my confidence.

“I pretty much got on with everyone.”
